Hollande’s approval rating slumps again

French President François Hollande’s popularity has slipped to its lowest level this year, and things aren’t much better for Prime Minister Manuel Valls, according to a new poll.

The poll, carried out by Ipso for the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche, found just 20 percent of respondents were satisfied with Hollande’s performance, down from 23 percent in September and a sizable fall from 29 percent in January, when the president was widely praised for his response to the Islamist attacks in Paris.

Support for Valls is also falling, according to the poll. He received a positive rating from 36 percent of respondents, down from 39 percent in September and 53 percent in January. It is, however, higher than in November 2014 when a YouGov poll put support for Hollande at 12 percent, a record-low for a French president.

A poll last week for the web site Atlantico found that Hollande’s Socialist Party would trail in third in regional elections to be held in December behind Nicolas Sarkozy’s Les Républicains and Marine Le Pen’s National Front.

Hollande has been in Iceland, where he visited a glacier to see the effects of global warming ahead of climate change talks in Paris later this year.
